A coworker once gave me a lottery ticket, saying, “See if you’re lucky today!” I scratched it eagerly, and my pulse skyrocketed—it looked like I’d won $10,000! For a moment, I was already planning how to spend the money.
Later, the same guy strolled by and asked, “Did you scratch that ticket?” Not wanting to give anything away, I played dumb and said, “Nope.” The second he walked off, I double-checked the ticket, my hands shaking.
Then I saw it—small print on the back revealing it was just a prank. My excitement turned into laughter. Thank goodness I didn’t fall for it completely before he could tease me about it!
